Strange story of the Abyssinian cat Smokey P.Maguires!

In Southern Weymouth, Massachusetts, in the house of Mr. and Mrs. William Maguire has arrived from Abyssinia a cat who looked as Abyssinian. Hes color - wild, he has good ticking, he has not marks on legs and a tail, but white spots are not presented at him even on a chin (he was a dream of any breeder )!

On words mr. Maguire - Smokey P. was born in day of gratitude in 1957 in Addis Ababa, in Ethiopia. He has subdued their hearts and became the full member of the family. Even acted in local theatre and in the poster wrote his name as Smokey P. Maguire. His mother was a local domestic Abyssinian cat, his father - a half-civilized

Abyssinian cat who looked as well as Smokey. When time has come to come back in USA - anybody and has not thought to throw Smokey but to receive for him the exit visa and the passport appeared as a problem!

Cat? And what, rhere is no cats in America? Anybody in one service did not know what to do - anybody did not take out domestic cat from the country earlier. A lion - please, but a cat! The persistence has yielded the fruits - the family has declared, that without a cat they will not go anywhere - and they have given out the official document which said: " the Sanction to export of a skin with an alive animal in it! "

Eventually Maguires could go home. Travel was difficult, with set of changes. The first stop in Cairo (Egypt). Egyptians and to this day adore cats so Smokey hearty welcome expected rather. The best hotel was not good enough for him! The manager has insisted to personally to feed a cat with the best beef and, having noticed, that to a cat should be very hardly transfer awful Cairo heat, has given in their order the unique conditioned number of hotel. (between flights they have lead other intervals in stuffy halls of the airports).

And further to a cat was not lucky - the comedy of mistakes began. He might not fly by the same plane with family, and was sent to Amsterdam (Holland). When Maguires arrived there - the cat was not. Three days of mad bells and telegrams on all Europe gave at last result: he have been found in a shelter for animals of the New York airport.

The family has taken off the first possible flight for New York where for them waited beloved Smokey, still in small carrying bag. Anybody from workers of a shelter has not ventured to replace him in the big cage or an open-air cage - they have decided, that it is a wild cat!

Fortunately for a cat and Maguires all was finished safely. After that travels Smokey left a house only sometimes, and it is not far - in holiday.
